Don't have a Twitter account, but want to check out the latest celebrity feud? No sweat.

Twitter on Tuesday announced some fresh updates for users who visit the site on their mobile device without signing in, including a new home timeline for people across 23 countries (listed below).

"Before today, you could see individual tweets but it was hard to discover stories and conversations happening on Twitter without signing in," Twitter Product Manager Paul Lambert wrote in a blog post. "Now, you can check out a news story as it unfolds, dive into the play-by-play discussions around a game, and then come back again to see that exchange between two rappers everyone's been talking about."

Twitter's new home timeline for logged-out users is rolling out to Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, France, Germany, Japan, Kenya, India, Indonesia, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, Nigeria, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Spain, South Africa, Taiwan, the U.K. and the U.S.

Meanwhile, Twitter is also expanding its refreshed homepage on the Web, which first launched in the U.S. and Japan in April, to all the countries listed above. Now, anyone in these countries can "explore and discover different topics and stories as they occur, including some that are tailored just for you based on your location and activity on Twitter," Lambert wrote.

The revamped Twitter.com homepage greets users who are not signed in with a grid of topics, such as politics, country artists, and cute animals. Clicking one of the topics will bring up a timeline of users who fit that category.

The move comes during a transitional period for Twitter, which has struggled with growth as well as efforts to combat abuse on the service. It has a (somewhat) new CEO, but recently lost a number of its top execs, one of which fled to Instagram and another who returned to his previous employer, Google.

My Experience

I'm PCMag's managing editor for consumer electronics, overseeing an experienced team of analysts covering smart home, home entertainment, wearables, fitness and health tech, and various other product categories. I have been with PCMag for more than 10 years, and in that time have written more than 6,000 articles and reviews for the site. I previously served as an analyst focused on smart home and wearable devices, and before that I was a reporter covering consumer tech news. I'm also a yoga instructor, and have been actively teaching group and private classes for nearly a decade. 

Prior to joining PCMag, I was a reporter for SC Magazine, focusing on hackers and computer security. I earned a BS in journalism from West Virginia University, and started my career writing for newspapers in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.

The Technology I Use

My little Florida beach bungalow is brimming with smart home tech. I have a smart speaker or display in every room, allowing me to control other connected devices by voice. The Nest Hub on my bedside table lets me set wake-up alarms, control my smart light bulbs, and set the temperature on my smart thermostat. I use the Amazon Echo Show 8 on my kitchen counter to browse recipes, reorder protein powder, check the weather, and watch the news while I do dishes. 

Because I suffer from allergies, air purifiers are essential. My favorite model is the Dyson Purifier Cool TP07, which doubles as a fan and continuously sends indoor pollution data to its companion mobile app. 

My pitbull Bradley sheds, so a good robot vacuum is a must. I currently use a premium Ecovacs Deebot that can both vacuum and mop, empty its own dustbin, and wash its own mop cloth. 

For fitness, I like to mix up my routine with cycling, indoor rowing, running, and strength training in addition to yoga. I take classes on the Tonal 2 smart strength training machine, I row indoors on an Aviron machine, and track my beach runs with an Apple Watch while listening to music on my Apple AirPods Pro. On the weekends, I love riding e-bikes like the rugged, beach-friendly Aventon Aventure for fun and fitness.

My job involves a lot of virtual meetings, so a quality webcam, microphone, and ring light are important. I use the Jabra PanaCast 20 webcam, the Elgato Wave: 3 microphone, and a Yesker tripod ring light. 

As for my preferred phone platform, I'm an iPhone person, but I've also extensively used Android for product testing.
